Feeling a dizzy sensation I opened my eyes to find everything
empty and black, the room was spinning and I couldn't see
anything. Reaching for my head I was unable to, the rattle of
chains then allowed fear to enter my thoughts. Panicking I tried
to force my hands free, every time I yanked the chain felt
tighter and tighter around my wrists.

"Help!" I shouted. Waiting for a reply none came. "Help! Is
anyone there?" Adrenaline forced its way through my body as I
began to tremble with doubt. Why was I in here, where was here
and how do I get out? Were the only thoughts that ran through my
mind, raging with anger I then started shouting unneeded remarks
into the darkness. It had probably been an hour but I didn't give
up, I wanted answers right now and the only way to get the
B*****s attention was to agitate him.

Finally hearing a muffled voice that wasn't mine I waited
patiently for him to speak again, the voice sounded stifled at
first but it started to become clear, "Hey who's there, what have
you done to me!" it was a boy, he seemed to be in the same vote
as me. But … why were we here?

"Hello!" I bellowed hearing my voice echo out towards the other
person.

"Why am I here!?" he shouted back startled. "Where am I!?" he
started still waiting for an answer we both needed. "What do you
want with me!?" he continued still worried about the position he
was in.

"Hey! My name is Darren!" I shouted to get his attention and calm
him. "What's your name?" I asked this time finally able to hear
myself think.

"My…my name's Jake" he whimpered.

"Are you okay, do you remember anything?" I asked waiting for a
response.

"No. All I remember is going to sleep and waking up in chains" he
told me.

"Me too" I shouted back. Silence lingered as we both thought.
"Where are you?"

"I don't know, I've been sat in here for at least an hour
shouting at a wall" I stated feeling a little annoyed.

The darkness seemed to stretch out forever, and even though I
didn't sound it, I was very scared right now. I had a fear of the
dark; anything that went bump in the night always frightened me.
Counting in my head I clutched my eye lids closed so that it
didn't seem so dark but unfortunately in the situation I was in
now it didn't help in any way.

Getting a little paranoid Jake blurted out uncontrollably, "did
you do this to me? Do I know you or something? Is this a
practical joke because you've got me?"

"No I'm pretty sure this is actually happening" I told him having
second thoughts. What if he was hinting that this was a joke,
could he be right? "If it is, you've got me too" I snapped
wanting to cling to the words I'd just spoken.

Interrupting our conversation a light started to flicker sending
rays around us, "Wh-what's going on?" I asked blinded. In front
of me was a cave that seemed to go on forever, inside gloom and
moss was growing, reaching out towards me.

"Hey Jake, can you see this?" I asked looking at all the rock
like walls, there was a bit of glee in my voice but that was just
the gratefulness of light.

"What do you mean? What happened?" he responded frantically.

"The lights are on" I told him. Trying to stand up I felt no
movement in my legs, they were numb. Looking down at them I
screamed out in torment, "Oh my God, what the f**k is this?"

Wary of my screams Jake panicked again, "what's wrong!"

"My legs", I started to sob, "My legs they're…" I whimpered.
Looking away the image still stayed in my mind, both were sewn
together with wire and splattered in blood. Although there was no
pain I knew that whoever was behind all of this was inhumane.
From the top of my knee cap all the way to my toes there were
tattered bits of wire sewn into my now pierced and blood spoiled
skin.

"What's wrong with them!" he started to roar.

"They're dead, I can't feel them" I told him sparing all gruesome
details.

"How …" he started.

Knowing there was no point in finishing his sentence I finished
it off for him, "I don't know."

Sitting in silence for another five minutes I continued to sob at
the injury I'd found. Jake then interrupted me by speaking,
"where are we?" he sounded more settled for some reason, could t
b because a grown man was cyring?

"In some sort of cave" I groaned wanting to be left alone.

"What can you see?" he eagerly asked.

"Nothing. All I can see is a cave and stone."

"Can you see me" he inquired with hope in his tone.

Turning around as much as I could, I dragged my legs into a
position which allowed me to see behind the post I was tied to.
At one end of the cave Jake was sat, his ruffled brown hair was
scattered into different directions. Taking a close look at him I
could see something that I wished I hadn't, both his eyes were
sealed with wire and sewn together, blood tears were still
streaming from his cheeks and tangled in his hair. In the other
corner was a girl, she looked about the same age as Jake but this
girl seemed unusual, she was quiet and hadn't spoken. In fact if
I hadn't of turned around I don't think I would have noticed her;
she was blonde and was whimpering. Why hadn't she spoken when
Jake and I did?

"Well" Jake asked frustrated.

"Yeah I can see you, but there's also a girl" I explained.
Looking at the girl I tried to get her attention. She was staring
at the both of us but never said a word; unlike me and Jake she
also wasn't injured.

"What girl?" he asked shouting "who else is there!?"

Still giving no reply I realized she was probably deaf, "Stop
Jake, she can't hear us. She's deaf."
Taking another glance around the room I could see a shape it
made, each of us sat chained to a post. There were three posts
and in front of us all was a small cave, three people and three
caves I thought to myself.

Looking the chains over I started to try and stand up but no
matter how hard I tried I couldn't, my legs had no feeling in
them.

"What are you doing?" Jake asked hearing the rattle of the
chains.

"Trying to get out of these chains" I told him now hitting my
head against the post repeatedly due to the frustration. "The
only way to get out of these is to find a key."

"Well, have a look around and see if you can find one" he
responded sarcastically.

Ignoring his comment I still took his advice and looked around
the room for some form of a way out. It was no good there was
nothing, all that was in sight was rocks and more rocks.

"So were stuck down here tied up in chains with no way out.
That's just great, why doesn't the b*****d just kill me now!" he
exclaimed.

Now facing Jake I was glad he couldn't see me, I started to give
him daggers. He was up to something and what it was I didn't
know. Looking back over to where the girl was I could see her
shaking with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was watching me
and Jake argue and obviously didn't like it. Now that she was
looking at us I tried to ask her, her name. Moving my lips slowly
she watched to see what I was saying, "What … is … your … name?"
she glared at me unsure of what I'd said, the distance for her to
see me was too far. She probably couldn't make out a word I'd
spoken. If she was deaf she may still be able to talk.

"J … A … K … E" Jake responded sarcastically.

"Not you" I snapped, "I'm talking to her."

"Sorry" he chuckled amused by his own joke, which proved it. He
was definitely up to something but who was I to accuse right now?
